Hi everybody. Sorry this post is a little late. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow, and I just finished an album as a gift and it made me lose track of the days of the week. Oops.

We have an unusual color combo for you this week. These are bright primary colors. I'm curious to see what you all will come up with on this one!

HoneyLagoonRuby

I made a layout using the Stickease from the For Always paper pack. I think I might print out some of the wedding pictures in black and white to use on this page. You can read more about it on my blog.

Now it's your turn! Make a project using the featured colors. If you don't have the exact colors, just use the closest you have. Take a picture of your project and upload it to your blog.

Challenge Rules

Welcome to the Color My Heart color dare! We're so glad to have you! Here's what you do: Create a project using the featured colors. You may use any products to participate, but we would like you to use Close To My Heart products and colors. Your project can be pretty much anything as long as you made it yourself. Examples are: scrapbooking layouts, cards, 3D items and altered items.

You may combine as many challenges as you want, but please make sure you use ALL and ONLY the featured colors listed in our challenge. If you don't have the exact colors, just use the closest you have. If you have additional colors you will be disqualified from that challenge.

Although not pictured in each challenge graphic, you can use Black and White freely on any Challenge unless the challenge says "No Black" or "No White".

Last challenge of each month will be a Tic-Tac-Toe Board Challenge...MUST use and identify the three colors in a row of your choice; however we will allow any or all other colors from the Challenge Board to be included.

Take a photo of your project, upload it to your blog or online gallery, and link your post. You must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. When you write your Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast, Instagram) identify the products that you use in your creation. Please include a link to our site and our challenge photo on your blog post. A new challenge will be posted every Friday...You have two weeks to link your work so there will always be an overlapping challenge. Challenges close on Thursday (9PM Central)
